Small-scale fisheries are recognised for the important opportunities they provide in terms of livelihoods and food and nutrition security. Women, men, the young and elderly, are engaged in different aspects of fisheries value chains, from assisting with preparations for fishing trips to fishing and gleaning, through to processing and marketing the resulting catch. At a household level, fishers harvest fish which can be consumed at home, or barter, exchange or sell the fish generating goodwill or income which can be used to acquire other foods. Fish are a highly nutritious animal-source food, providing protein, macro- and micronutrients which are essential for the cognitive development and growth of infants and children and for adult health. Recent research has highlighted the invaluable contribution that fish could make to the diets of women and children, particularly in the first 1000 days (from conception to two years of age).
